You can find the Buds3 Pro in the house (or anywhere else for that matter) with Samsung Find. And the reason the case lid is transparent is because when you find them, the right bud blade light (LED) starts blinking, and you can also hear the beeping from inside the case.
i take it you didn't know that the Airpods Pro 2nd Gen already do all that in Find My,you can also play a sound from the case if you can't find it or any of the Airpods and you get a direction map with an arrow pointing to where there are

Samsung Buds 3 Pro are hitting home. I am enjoying mine tremendously. They are very comfortable without the feeling of losing one or the other. I do get that little temporary hiss when changing from Ambient to ANC. Far from being a deal breaker.
The hiss can be easily fixed with a fw update. Unfortunately Samsung had better shit to clean first. I'd love to replace my Huawei Freebuds Pro 3 but the lack of multipoint is indeed a dealbreaker for me.
@fatcrruise6508 IDK, the airpods definitely sounded a lot less natural & more artificial in noisy conditions, like it's trying a bit too hard to cancel out background noise. I actually prefer the noisier Galaxy Buds there, but when it's quiet the reverse is true 🤔
Once again, Mike, great video. I also had the static issue and I resolved it by reseting the Buds. Now I don't have that noise anymore. Hope that helps you out.
@grimreavers Go into your wearable app. Then go into earbuds settings, then go to the reset. That will reset your buds and get off that noise or static. We'll at least it worked for me. Hope this helps.
The second gen AirPods Pro 2 (USB C) are the only ones that support lossless with the Vision Pro, and that's because they added a 5ghz antenna to the AirPods that connect to the Vision Pro and the higher bandwidth enables the lossless audio while still allowing for low latency audio, which is particularly important for VR/AR
At the cost of more background noise. The airpods I couldn't hear the car tires in the rain Edited° Whoops! But on the voicemail he's playing on the phone you couldn't hear any tire noises from the rain and car on both apples and Samsungs lol.
I wish people would stop saying Samsung stole this design from the Apple. Lots of companies do this shape nowadays. But Samsung gets flack? All Apple did was take the classic regular wired ear buds design we had for YEARS and cut the wire. They didnt innovate anything here..How am I the only person to realize this
Nope, without multipoint, an universal Hi-Res codec, and an iOS app, Samsung fights on its own, Samsung is almost completely closing the door for potential iOS users buyers, and above all closing the door on the majority of Android users 🤷🏽♂️

But the only problem is I have a samsung phone, so I lose a lot of features. I'm afraid I'll regret it if I switch to the buds 3 pro although it would fit better in the ecosystem.
@@dave19328 What did you end up doing? I'm currently choosing between the airpods 2 pro and the galaxy buds 3 pro, and I'm using a samsung phone as well. What features have you noticed to be lacking when using the airpods on an android device?
So i've been watching a bunch of reviews as I'm looking to get something right now. From what I am hearing in these videos....the Apple Airpod Pro microphone is absolutely stellar.
Then you have people like me, who use a Pixel with AirPods Pro. The AirPods have unfortunately been the overall best in the space for a long time. Comfort, call quality, sound, anc, cariability and so on... I am tempted to get these, but still holding on for the pixel buds pro 2
I have the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. No background noise or chirping in my pair. I believe it was fixed with a firmware update. I was also able to get them for $120 something because of my trade in. No brainer.
Actually I have a pair of Air pods as well as galaxy buds pro's and the air pods do switch easily on their own. If I use them on my Galaxy but later on wanna listen on my iPad it automatically connects to them without me having to go into Bluetooth all the time and tap connect. I dont know if that's what yo meant about multi point connectivity but that's been my experience with them. Needless to say I ditched my old galaxy buds and ordered these. The mic is the only thing that sounds better to me so far but I can live with it, I think. Only time and my user experience will tell.
Thanks for pointing out the static noise issue. I had the static on my original buds pro, which had great transparency. I never noticed it on buds 2 pros. Will stay well away from these
I swapped to the Samsung ecosystem a few years ago, and continued to use my airpods pro with my galaxy for a while. I loved them but hated how they didn't work 100% with my phone. Thank you for this vid, helped me decide if the buds3 pro are worth the cash ❤
Got mine yesterday & these definitely have a light buzzing noise when in Transparency mode. The buds are slippery to get out & back in the case also. I drop mine every time when trying to get out or put back inside case. ANC works fine & I don't hear that fuzzy sound. These are great buds for $138 (on sale) but not $250
Thanks for another great review! I have mine buds 3 pro for almost 2 weeks. I just love them. No static noise in mine. Very good sound -so much better than AirPods! Almost as good as Sony xm5. I have AirPods pro for years now even if I have Samsung phones (and iPad) because of the ANC and comfort. Now I can finally skip them:)
Samaung could have gone with the updated design(which is scoring high marks in repair friendliness btw) and keep something closer to the old case design. Motorola did it with their newest budget buds
11:07 Is anyone else shocked at how stark the difference in mic quality is? Is there something in the settings that can keep the Galaxy Buds microphones from sounding so bad?
I swear. That has been my biggest concern I owned the Buds 2 Pro and they were terrible in terms of voice isolation as they would capture the background noises in a noisy environment way too much and my voice would get blurred out. So naturally I wanted to see how they compared with the Apple airpods Pro and even though I am a Samsung user I have seen how seamlessly people around me use the airpods and I am considering switching to the airpods. I do have a backup iphone.
This is literally the only review out of dozens that seems to think the airpods are better and I never experience any of that noise using mine even next to building work sites so...
@@jaycreswell7008 maybe it's a quality control issue because I have the Buds 3 Pro and I find the noise cancelling unusable outdoors. Whether I'm trying to listen to music or trying to take a call, it amplifies the slightest wind noise and plays it as static in my ears. My girlfriends Airpods Pro don't do this at all, nor do my work-issued Airpods Max, or my previous $35 Tozo NC2 and NC9 wireless noise canceling buds from Amazon. Glad yours are working well!
@@jaycreswell7008 There must be a quality control issue because mine are practically unusable outdoors, any amount of air movement results in a lot of mic noise in the speakers regardless of the noise cancelling settings, and even when not in a call.
How would even be a decision or do you have a phone/tablet on both echo systéms? Cuz if not ur gonna miss features if u only have iphone my son literally changed over to iPhone just to have airpods even though he admitted that Samsung is superior when it comes to phones 😂😂
The two most important things on earbuds is fit and sound quality and a good fit improves an already good sound quality . I see many reviews that say good fit and as many say bad about either brand. I have both and for me the buds 3 pro fit better and sound considerably better due to the multiple drivers and software that backs them up. People need to understand fit isn't a design issue as some would suggest, it is simply an earshape issue. The manufacturers can't cater for everyone. I have two generations of buds pro and airpods pro and B&W pods, all have individual issues . Although for me buds pro 3 are simply the best all rounders with a head and shoulders above the rest win on sound quality.
That static popping sound seems to be common with ANC devices. Some more than others, but my unit is actually dead silent! So it might be a quality issue with your unit.
That AOL sound your referring too can easily be solved with a firmware update. All type of wireless ear buds have gotten drastically better with a few updates
Been rocking Airlods Pros with my S23 Ultra, for a few years now, battery doest last my gym sessions anymore so probably going to upgrade to the Bud 3 Pros
Air pods pro 2 used to be the same price as the galaxy buds pro 3 but for the longest time now, you're able to get them for $180-190 on places like amazon consistently. $60 cheaper and the fact they're 2 years older make it impressive that they still mostly hold up to the much newer galaxy buds
Great review, Mike. I agree that the mic and sound quality of the Buds3 Pro are impressive. I got the white version, but unfortunately, the right earbud hisses most of the time with ANC on. Additionally, the white color differs noticeably between the stem and the inner part. Coming from the Buds Live and Buds2, I found the Buds3 Pro uncomfortable in the ear, even after trying all three sizes of ear tips. Due to the lack of comfort, inconsistent build quality, and the difficulty in pressing the buttons on the stem, I’ve decided to return them and stick with my older ones. The improvement in sound quality just isn't worth these drawbacks for me.
Funny thing about that 'modem' sound--I have old Galaxy Buds and heard that sound when I put them on this morning. Must be a software bug. That said--if I am running outdoors, I stick to OpenRun Shokz--I can hear my surroundings better, plus the Buds ALWAYS fall out of my ear the minute I turn my head, no matter which size ear fitting I use. I think Samsung consistently does a crappy job of releasing versions of their products sized for women.
Something I like better in apple is that you can turn on noise cancellation with only one earbud, which you can't do with samsung . You might think it doesn't make sense if you are only using one, but in a construction site, it does let you concentrate on what you are hearing on that ear, specifically.
Pre ordered the buds for 180 Euro. With the 25% pre order bonus and 10% member Bonus. I trink thats amazing for newly released buds. The only thing i miss is the multipoint with windows and the Bass boost feature from the nothing ear 3
Quick info! My galaxy buds fell in water & submerged. I was mad that i barely just had it for 3days. Well good new!! Wipe off the water, dont try to blow it out with your mouth. Get a bowl of rice(raw) & let it sit in there for 24hours. My buds are working jut fine
You called out the static on the pro and it's true and quite a annoying. Also putting them in and covering the speaker with your finger gives a high pitched sound in your ears which really hurts.
Im a samsung user. Been using my Galaxy Note 9 with airpods pro 2, the sound quality is insanely good and the ANC is insane....but i bought s24 ultra just yesterday and am considering the buds pro 3 to go fully into the samsung ecosystem since i never experienced that before....but i have to say though, the airpods pro 2 is by no means bad at all, it's very good in my opinion
Great comparison! I'm curious to see how the Galaxy Buds3 Pro hold up against the AirPods Pro in real-world use. Which one do you think offers better value for everyday users? And it doesn’t matter what kind of phone it is, Android or iPhone.
you’re right. But also consider that the airpods are 2 years+ older, so the galaxy should have been ideally superior with the latest tech and hardware.
You need a app that simulates a call. In my own test with a lot o Galaxy Buds, when you use theses recording a video or a simple audio, they work like a simple microphone without ENC.
I ordered a flip Z 6 and received a free pair of the buds 3.....i have ordered the pro,s now . I disllike on -ear buds /pods as the ANC is hopeless and they do not feel secure etc etc....i much prefer the seal of the in- ear fitting to take the full advantage of the noise cancelling software...the bud 3 sound is reallly decent but mostly for secure fit and better drivers/etc im stepping up
Think I'll wait for the buds pro 4. Seems like there's just a few bugs they need to work out that keep them from being perfect, but definitely they have improved. Seems like they're finally in the right direction, they just need to improve on things.
I experienced that hissing sound too a few days ago from my Pro 3. It was very faint but I did hear it. I also don't feel that the Pro 3s have a very secure fit which hurts the ANC significantly. I figured maybe I needed to bigger ear tips so I'll see how it sounds with those. Either way, I think Samsung should adopt the wing tip kind of style that the Bose Earbuds have.
My only gripe with them is that they don't block out wind noise, I really hope Samsung adds a feature to block it out in the future! Otherwise I really love my pair!
I have the galaxy buds pro first Gen. I was looking forward to upgrading but i have to say I'm not sure i like the redesign. The previous models were more discreet. I never liked the look of the airpods. I would consider sticking to what i currently have but i would like to have something with better battery life. So I'm on the fence. Samsung is offering $100 trade in for my current gen1 pro buds, so that might be the thing that gets me to buy. Post note: Looks like that was an error on the website (or an early bird promotion) they're only offering $50 now. That probably means i don't buy.
First off your galaxy buds might be defective cause me are any other TH-camrs have not complained about hissing sound . To my ears the galaxy buds sound better then the apple buds for tlk an music. An the cool light is so cool
@@tomoprime217 The headphones are really being recalled. I live in Poland, and I was supposed to receive mine yesterday, but the release has been postponed by about a month.
There is a weird toxic battery burning smell from the case and tips which is a big concern to safety & health. The smell is there while charging and while using the buds.
Personally, I'll stick to my galaxy buds pro 2. I don't like the stem design look. Second, I've been hearing too many negatives about these new buds. Problems with taking off the earpiece, that noise you mentioned, and a rew other negatives. I'll probably wait until the next buds dropp.
The stem is not about looks for me. I can never go back to adjusting my earbud and accidentally pausing my music. When my Airpods die and I have to go back to my Buds 2 Pro I dread it every time. And I'm on android too.
I know I'm late, but I kind of agree with the other reply. I just upgraded from the Buds 2 Pro for 2 main reasons. Since they got rid of the eartips, they were constantly coming loose in my ear while doing any type of physical activity. The other reason is the placement of the touch sensor. Relating the the first point, anytime I would go to adjust the earbuds the music would get paused because I hit the sensor. The blade on the 3 pro definitely helps them stay in your ear as the weight is being pulled down and not out. I loved the Buds 2 other than those 2 reasons, the sound was great, features were on par to other earbuds. I would honestly only upgrade if you like the looks of the new ones, or are having problems with them staying in your ears
I bought myself buds 3 pro about 2 months ago for my samsung s21fe. I don't know if something is wrong about my model.. but the quality of the sound is just mid comparing it to airpods 2 pro. ANC is worse too. The only good thing is the quality of build
Can anybody else hear their Buds3 pro's ANC working to try and actively block out noise? I experience this when in lour environments (bus, hoovering around the house etc). This only happens in those circumstancesz, however, in quieter environments, it works as it should. Also, this is only with the ANC on full level, If its one level below the max, this effect doesn't happen 🤔

Yes, I am having that static popping in my right bud. Not in music, occasionally in podcasts
Hopefully it can be fixed in an update
Get them replaced.
@@Ishpreetb264 on it
Then you have people like me, who use a Pixel with AirPods Pro. The AirPods have unfortunately been the overall best in the space for a long time. Comfort, call quality, sound, anc, cariability and so on... I am tempted to get these, but still holding on for the pixel buds pro 2
you must not know it's other earbuds that have way better anc, sound ,and comfort
Thank your for keen details on both products. I'm very excited to get my hands on some Galaxy Buds 3 Pro in the future.
I have the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. No background noise or chirping in my pair. I believe it was fixed with a firmware update. I was also able to get them for $120 something because of my trade in. No brainer.
Actually I have a pair of Air pods as well as galaxy buds pro's and the air pods do switch easily on their own. If I use them on my Galaxy but later on wanna listen on my iPad it automatically connects to them without me having to go into Bluetooth all the time and tap connect. I dont know if that's what yo meant about multi point connectivity but that's been my experience with them. Needless to say I ditched my old galaxy buds and ordered these. The mic is the only thing that sounds better to me so far but I can live with it, I think. Only time and my user experience will tell.
Thanks for pointing out the static noise issue. I had the static on my original buds pro, which had great transparency. I never noticed it on buds 2 pros. Will stay well away from these
Best review channel, Love your work man 🙌
I swapped to the Samsung ecosystem a few years ago, and continued to use my airpods pro with my galaxy for a while. I loved them but hated how they didn't work 100% with my phone. Thank you for this vid, helped me decide if the buds3 pro are worth the cash ❤
Got mine yesterday & these definitely have a light buzzing noise when in Transparency mode. The buds are slippery to get out & back in the case also.
I drop mine every time when trying to get out or put back inside case.
ANC works fine & I don't hear that fuzzy sound. These are great buds for $138 (on sale) but not $250
Thanks for another great review!
I have mine buds 3 pro for almost 2 weeks. I just love them. No static noise in mine. Very good sound -so much better than AirPods! Almost as good as Sony xm5. I have AirPods pro for years now even if I have Samsung phones (and iPad) because of the ANC and comfort. Now I can finally skip them:)
Samaung could have gone with the updated design(which is scoring high marks in repair friendliness btw) and keep something closer to the old case design. Motorola did it with their newest budget buds
Me listening to this video on my pre-ordered buds3 pro.
You love your new buds3 pro?
11:07 Is anyone else shocked at how stark the difference in mic quality is? Is there something in the settings that can keep the Galaxy Buds microphones from sounding so bad?
I swear. That has been my biggest concern I owned the Buds 2 Pro and they were terrible in terms of voice isolation as they would capture the background noises in a noisy environment way too much and my voice would get blurred out. So naturally I wanted to see how they compared with the Apple airpods Pro and even though I am a Samsung user I have seen how seamlessly people around me use the airpods and I am considering switching to the airpods. I do have a backup iphone.
This is literally the only review out of dozens that seems to think the airpods are better and I never experience any of that noise using mine even next to building work sites so...
@@jaycreswell7008 maybe it's a quality control issue because I have the Buds 3 Pro and I find the noise cancelling unusable outdoors. Whether I'm trying to listen to music or trying to take a call, it amplifies the slightest wind noise and plays it as static in my ears. My girlfriends Airpods Pro don't do this at all, nor do my work-issued Airpods Max, or my previous $35 Tozo NC2 and NC9 wireless noise canceling buds from Amazon. Glad yours are working well!
@@jaycreswell7008 There must be a quality control issue because mine are practically unusable outdoors, any amount of air movement results in a lot of mic noise in the speakers regardless of the noise cancelling settings, and even when not in a call.
Was holding off for your full review, after watching I'll now get Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, thanks 👍🏽
How would even be a decision or do you have a phone/tablet on both echo systéms? Cuz if not ur gonna miss features if u only have iphone my son literally changed over to iPhone just to have airpods even though he admitted that Samsung is superior when it comes to phones 😂😂
The two most important things on earbuds is fit and sound quality and a good fit improves an already good sound quality . I see many reviews that say good fit and as many say bad about either brand. I have both and for me the buds 3 pro fit better and sound considerably better due to the multiple drivers and software that backs them up. People need to understand fit isn't a design issue as some would suggest, it is simply an earshape issue. The manufacturers can't cater for everyone. I have two generations of buds pro and airpods pro and B&W pods, all have individual issues . Although for me buds pro 3 are simply the best all rounders with a head and shoulders above the rest win on sound quality.
That static popping sound seems to be common with ANC devices. Some more than others, but my unit is actually dead silent! So it might be a quality issue with your unit.
That AOL sound your referring too can easily be solved with a firmware update. All type of wireless ear buds have gotten drastically better with a few updates
Been rocking Airlods Pros with my S23 Ultra, for a few years now, battery doest last my gym sessions anymore so probably going to upgrade to the Bud 3 Pros
Mike, you've done it again, amazing 👏
Thanks for giving into detail about transparency mode
Air pods pro 2 used to be the same price as the galaxy buds pro 3 but for the longest time now, you're able to get them for $180-190 on places like amazon consistently. $60 cheaper and the fact they're 2 years older make it impressive that they still mostly hold up to the much newer galaxy buds
Great review, Mike. I agree that the mic and sound quality of the Buds3 Pro are impressive. I got the white version, but unfortunately, the right earbud hisses most of the time with ANC on. Additionally, the white color differs noticeably between the stem and the inner part.
Coming from the Buds Live and Buds2, I found the Buds3 Pro uncomfortable in the ear, even after trying all three sizes of ear tips. Due to the lack of comfort, inconsistent build quality, and the difficulty in pressing the buttons on the stem, I’ve decided to return them and stick with my older ones. The improvement in sound quality just isn't worth these drawbacks for me.
I have the buds 3 pro and I love them. Samsung really hit it out the park with these esr buds 😊
Funny thing about that 'modem' sound--I have old Galaxy Buds and heard that sound when I put them on this morning. Must be a software bug. That said--if I am running outdoors, I stick to OpenRun Shokz--I can hear my surroundings better, plus the Buds ALWAYS fall out of my ear the minute I turn my head, no matter which size ear fitting I use. I think Samsung consistently does a crappy job of releasing versions of their products sized for women.
I've noticed little noise he's talking about but only seems to happen when no audio is being played. Hopefully it will get fixed with a patch.
Вообще говорят это брак. Один из пунктов брака первой партии.
Something I like better in apple is that you can turn on noise cancellation with only one earbud, which you can't do with samsung . You might think it doesn't make sense if you are only using one, but in a construction site, it does let you concentrate on what you are hearing on that ear, specifically.
Love my Silver Pro version Samsung Buds! Even pairs great with my gaming PC!!
nice review :) btw. I havent encountered this buzz noise on my gb3.. Ive got them much later after they restarted shipments.. maybe that helped ;)
No statics on n mine either. Absolutely love my new samsung earbuds. Better than the Bose quiet comfort.
Nice comparison 👏
Thanks for the review mike, you're one of the few people who actually do a really good job and go indepth with reviewing wearables
I was using my galaxy buds 3 pro today and that chirping sound was really bothering me, thought I was going crazy for a sec but glad it’s not just me
Competition is good. Samsung getting right in Apple's face trying to push them out of their comfort zone. Im all for it!!!
apple definetely doesn't give a shit about samsung
@hatz_matz21 You say that but Apple sure does do a lot of things Samsung has done. Even the VR headset. Samsung did it year's ago.
@@latingringo89 vr was a growing market just cause apple is doing it doesnt mean its a copy
@@Elistic4443d Apple Vision Pro sure did fail like Samsung's did 😆
@@latingringo89 so by that logic if you fail a math test you copied someone else cause they also failed a math test
My favorite headphones guru! Thanks!
Pre ordered the buds for 180 Euro. With the 25% pre order bonus and 10% member Bonus. I trink thats amazing for newly released buds. The only thing i miss is the multipoint with windows and the Bass boost feature from the nothing ear 3
Quick info! My galaxy buds fell in water & submerged. I was mad that i barely just had it for 3days. Well good new!! Wipe off the water, dont try to blow it out with your mouth. Get a bowl of rice(raw) & let it sit in there for 24hours. My buds are working jut fine
The static noise and the weird feeling you get as a result of it is on my units of the pros as well
The Techisonde channel shows you can find the buds in the case like apple.
You called out the static on the pro and it's true and quite a annoying. Also putting them in and covering the speaker with your finger gives a high pitched sound in your ears which really hurts.
I feel the Buds Pro 3 are the same, if not better, overall than the airpods 2.
Mike can you tell me which are good when it comes to sound quality? Galaxy buds 2 pro or Sennheiser momentum tws 4?
Im a samsung user. Been using my Galaxy Note 9 with airpods pro 2, the sound quality is insanely good and the ANC is insane....but i bought s24 ultra just yesterday and am considering the buds pro 3 to go fully into the samsung ecosystem since i never experienced that before....but i have to say though, the airpods pro 2 is by no means bad at all, it's very good in my opinion
Great comparison! I'm curious to see how the Galaxy Buds3 Pro hold up against the AirPods Pro in real-world use. Which one do you think offers better value for everyday users? And it doesn’t matter what kind of phone it is, Android or iPhone.
I was an iphone user. I love the design of the samsung buds pro 3. Im glad i purshase them
I picked original samsung. Buds 2 pro over apple eventhough i have iphone because buds pro fit way better and never fall out.
Thank you for this video.
Comparing one that isn't even readily available yet to one with 3 years of firmware updates.
you’re right. But also consider that the airpods are 2 years+ older, so the galaxy should have been ideally superior with the latest tech and hardware.
You need a app that simulates a call. In my own test with a lot o Galaxy Buds, when you use theses recording a video or a simple audio, they work like a simple microphone without ENC.
The Buds 3 Pro are miles ahead of the AirPods Pro 2. The sound quality alone is enough to make the Buds 3 Pro the winner.
I ordered a flip Z 6 and received a free pair of the buds 3.....i have ordered the pro,s now . I disllike on -ear buds /pods as the ANC is hopeless and they do not feel secure etc etc....i much prefer the seal of the in- ear fitting to take the full advantage of the noise cancelling software...the bud 3 sound is reallly decent but mostly for secure fit and better drivers/etc im stepping up
Think I'll wait for the buds pro 4. Seems like there's just a few bugs they need to work out that keep them from being perfect, but definitely they have improved. Seems like they're finally in the right direction, they just need to improve on things.
1. What camera are you using and can I buy it on Amazon? And 2. Watching on the new 11 inch iPad Pro and oml it looks crispy
the microfone test with buds pro 3 performed outside is wrong. You didn't activate something cause you can quiet all that sound behind you
How does your AirPod mic sound so good
Still waiting on my Galaxy buds 3 pro which I pre ordered
I experienced that hissing sound too a few days ago from my Pro 3. It was very faint but I did hear it. I also don't feel that the Pro 3s have a very secure fit which hurts the ANC significantly. I figured maybe I needed to bigger ear tips so I'll see how it sounds with those. Either way, I think Samsung should adopt the wing tip kind of style that the Bose Earbuds have.
Do a reset on the buds stops the hissing
Why add a stem if the call quality isn't as good as apples, ill stick with the bud2pros
Have you made a chart of the best sound quality in-ear wireless headphones? I'm curious which one is the 1st.
My only gripe with them is that they don't block out wind noise, I really hope Samsung adds a feature to block it out in the future!
Otherwise I really love my pair!
I have the galaxy buds pro first Gen. I was looking forward to upgrading but i have to say I'm not sure i like the redesign. The previous models were more discreet. I never liked the look of the airpods. I would consider sticking to what i currently have but i would like to have something with better battery life. So I'm on the fence. Samsung is offering $100 trade in for my current gen1 pro buds, so that might be the thing that gets me to buy.
Post note: Looks like that was an error on the website (or an early bird promotion) they're only offering $50 now. That probably means i don't buy.
I had the Galaxy Buds Pro 1st Gen as well & got the Buds FE. So much better than the Pro. The fit, sound, & ANC are so much better in my opinion.
So with the Galaxy buds 3 you can't access Google Assistant? You have to be stuck with Bigsby?
First off your galaxy buds might be defective cause me are any other TH-camrs have not complained about hissing sound . To my ears the galaxy buds sound better then the apple buds for tlk an music. An the cool light is so cool
I hear there is a big recall for these. I am afraid to trade mine in (towards upgrading buds 2 pro) until these are fixed.
@@tomoprime217 The headphones are really being recalled. I live in Poland, and I was supposed to receive mine yesterday, but the release has been postponed by about a month.
@@tomoprime217 the recall had nothing to do with the sound quality some units had issues with the tips an even those where never shipped
@@tomoprime217this and also because tips are falling apart. I pre-ordered and both happened to my earbuds and now I'm waiting for replacement unit
The chirping sound occurs when you clam the buds tightly in your hand. It's the same in the buds 2 pro. I don't think it's about been defective.
There is a weird toxic battery burning smell from the case and tips which is a big concern to safety & health. The smell is there while charging and while using the buds.
Listening with my buds 3 pro 🫡
How did you get them early? My pre order got delayed cuz of the quality control fix 😭
Lying
@@lukashansonthey released them in the uk for awhile
Unpopular opinion: The beans design from samsung rockks and was my favorite set of headphones
Nobody brought up the fact that homie has the party going on in that freezer!
Great video
1:22 they just look like 2 pairs of air pods pros 😂
I have a Samsung and I'm on Windows. No matter how many videos I watch, without multipoint I just simply cannot love these buds.
Personally, I'll stick to my galaxy buds pro 2. I don't like the stem design look. Second, I've been hearing too many negatives about these new buds. Problems with taking off the earpiece, that noise you mentioned, and a rew other negatives. I'll probably wait until the next buds dropp.
The stem is not about looks for me. I can never go back to adjusting my earbud and accidentally pausing my music. When my Airpods die and I have to go back to my Buds 2 Pro I dread it every time. And I'm on android too.
I know I'm late, but I kind of agree with the other reply. I just upgraded from the Buds 2 Pro for 2 main reasons. Since they got rid of the eartips, they were constantly coming loose in my ear while doing any type of physical activity. The other reason is the placement of the touch sensor. Relating the the first point, anytime I would go to adjust the earbuds the music would get paused because I hit the sensor. The blade on the 3 pro definitely helps them stay in your ear as the weight is being pulled down and not out. I loved the Buds 2 other than those 2 reasons, the sound was great, features were on par to other earbuds. I would honestly only upgrade if you like the looks of the new ones, or are having problems with them staying in your ears
I bought myself buds 3 pro about 2 months ago for my samsung s21fe. I don't know if something is wrong about my model.. but the quality of the sound is just mid comparing it to airpods 2 pro. ANC is worse too. The only good thing is the quality of build
Ive had my galaxy buds plus since they came out, it might be time to upgarde
Can anybody else hear their Buds3 pro's ANC working to try and actively block out noise? I experience this when in lour environments (bus, hoovering around the house etc). This only happens in those circumstancesz, however, in quieter environments, it works as it should. Also, this is only with the ANC on full level, If its one level below the max, this effect doesn't happen 🤔
I love your glasses
Thanks! I just got them a few weeks ago. The brand is called Goodr
